Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Game Review

The most recent Call of Duty installment came out over 4 months now, and it's very fun. There are many new guns, killstreaks,(now called point streaks) and maps to play on. The campaign mode isn't all that long, but still fun to learn how to play if you've never played a COD game. The multiplayer still hasn't been brought to speed on all of the fun game modes, but it's still fun. There are supply crates you get which contain various items, some helpful, some not so much, but you get most of your artillery from those little things, so they're fun to open and see what you get. Like most shooter games though, with the exception of Black-Ops 2 and Modern Warfare 3, this game will get forgotten once the next one comes out most likely, which is why I usually don't buy shooter games, I don't want to fall into the endless abyss of shooters. This game, though, is an exception, not to mention its smooth and clean graphics. This game gets a 9.5/10. Video by Ali-A, no inappropriate content.

Dragon Ball XenoVerse Game Review

A new game based off of the Dragon Ball television and comic book series come out a few weeks ago for PlayStations 3 and 4, XBoxes 360 and 1, and PC. This game is a similar style to many of the previous DragonBall, a fighting game in which you can choose to fight with an AI or real people. There are a few classes to choose from; Earthlings, Saiyans, Majin, Namekians, and the Frieza Clan. All have different stats and characteristics, some of which are similar to the Dragon Ball TV series. The graphics are almost the same as the TV, but with much less yelling, making it feel like you're part of the DB world which is cool. The game is a fun play, but I don't think it's worth buying if you don't really love DB and fighting games, I'd give it a 7/10. Video by NukemDukem, no innapropiate content.

Five Nights at Freddy's 3 Game Review

Five Nights at Freddy's 3 is out after the long and excruciating wait (less than 4 months) it's been released. The game has added a decent amount of new features and taken out a few. One major new feature is that the camera system, audio devices, and ventilation can malfunction and effect the gameplay which you have to take time to fix. But, to help this a little bit, there's only one place the animatronics can come through. There are updated versions of old animatronics and a new animatronic, Golden Bonnie (A.K.A Springtrap), a Bonnie who has a light gold sheen and wrecked body. The gameplay is still good, I think it's the scariest game only because it's less jump scares and more like, "When are they coming?!?!" The game is completely different from the other games in the sense that it is set 30 years after the incident of FNaF 2, and it's set in a horror experience where you're playing as the security guard from FNaF 2. You still have the friendly phone guy telling you things, but instead of all 5 nights it's only for 3. This game has sprouted many different theories all very interesting. I'd give this game a 9.5/10. Video by CaptainSparklez, no innapropiate content.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 Game Review

A sequel to a hugely successful game, Super Mario Galaxy 2 is a rather disappointing predecessor. They added a few good things, but took away a lot of great things. Yoshi was a good addition, but
I didn't like the comet medals that much. It was practically the same exact thing, but with different galaxies and a few changes here and there. Still a good game, just disappointing. A new addition I thought was amazing was after you collect all 120 stars and defeat Bowser one more time, things called Green Stars will appear all of the world, giving you 120 more stars to collect. These stars there aren't straight paths leading to them, you have to find them yourself (or look on YouTube and cheat). It was a fun, but very difficult task, that took me much longer then the original 120 stars. The music gets a little bit worse, but it's still good. And one of my biggest complaints is the Bowser and Bowser
Jr. boss fights got worse, they are not as fun. This game gets an 8/10 from me. Video by cobermani456, no innapropiate content.

Super Mario Galaxy Game Review

One of, if not, the most popular gaming franchises returns with something completely different than the usual for them. Mario goes to space to collect the Power Stars that he needs to power a new character to the series, Rosalina's, ship to save Princess Peach yet again. On the way you encounter many different enemies, bosses, and friends that change the name of the Mario series. One of these friendlies are called Lumas, star like objects that transform into various things to assist you in your journey, such as paths to greater heights or even planets themselves. To compliment this game with good graphics for the time and gameplay, is an amazing soundtrack. My personal favorites are Gusty Garden Galaxy, Battle Rock/Dreadnought (they're the same), and Toy Time Galaxy. This game came out in 2007, and many people are still playing it to this day, which proves its popularity, I give it a 10/10. Video by chuggaaconroy, no inappropriate content.

Scott Cawthon's Five Nights at Freddy's 3 "Troll" Mini-Game Review

Scott Cawthon, creator of the FNaF series posted that he had been hacked and FNaF 3 would not be coming out. There was an uproar in the fanbase of this popular series, but he did leave a link to a free to play game where a stick figure with Freddy head runs and jumps through obstacles. The soundtrack is just a loop of the song that mostly goes, "trololololol" and soon after Scott said," All I've been hearing about all day is how I've been hacked! Everything is fine and FNaF 3 is still moving at full speed ahead. Now everyone take a chill pill and enjoy the nice game I made for you! ;)" This game is a Mario style game, except much harder, if you've heard of I Wanna Be the Guy, it's kind of like that. It is a fun little game to play if you have the time, and free, so I'd suggest it. Video made by XxProClassGamerxx, no inappropriate content.

Madden NFL 15 Game Review

Sports games aren't usually my forte, but I think this one is an exception. This game is rated E for everyone, but that doesn't mean it's a bad game, and released for the XBox 1 and 360, and for PS3 and 4 and produced by EA Sports. The teams and players are both based off of real NFL teams, and you can choose whatever team you want whenever you want. For beginners in either gaming or football, this game can get complicated, having to choose your own plays from real football plays. All complications aside, this is a very fun game to even watch as your friends yell in frustration or glee, so I would suggest it to gamers and sports fans. 9/10, video by KYRSP33DY no inappropriate content.

The Elder Scrolls Online Game Review


To me, Elder Scrolls Online was a bit of a let down. Console MMORPG's don't get very far, and with the combination of this being the very first multiplayer installment of the game, they may be experimenting on this game. The game is made by Bethesda Softworks and Zenimax Studios. This game is rated Mature for Blood and Gore, Sexual Themes, Use of Alcohol, and Violence. For next gen graphics, this game is very lackluster in that category. The gameplay itself isn't all that great. I expected it to be a single player with multiplayer person versus person, but it's a multiplayer co-op with NO competitive options. I don't like multiplayer co-op, because I have no trust in anyone online, as proven by every game ever I trust the enemy team more than my allied team. All together I dislike this game quite a bit, I'd give it a 4.5/10. Video by IfreeMZ.

Mortal Kombat Game Review (no specific one)

Mortal Kombat is an extremely gory game originally developed by Midway Games. Bankrupt in 2009, the studio went to formally Warner Brothers now, NetherRealm Studios. The new game, Mortal Kombat X, is rated M for Mature for; Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Partial Nudity, and Strong Language. This game series may be most famous for their overly violent finishing moves, called fatalities, such as Scorpion's Split Decision, which he cuts the person's body in half, cuts their head off, then kicks them and makes it fall apart! Disgusting, so if you have a weak stomach don't play this game. All gruesomeness aside, this game isn't half bad, I'd give it a 9/10. Video isn't very informational, but who doesn't love Conan or football players? 14+ recommended.

Super Smash Bros. for the WiiU and 3DS Game Review

Super Smash Bros for the WiiU and Nintendo 3DS is a game that came out recently. Part of one of Nintendo's most successful franchises, this game does not disappoint. Rated E10+, brought down from T from the rest of the franchise, this game has new characters such as Mega-Man, Pac-Man, Bowser Jr., and back from the second insrallment, Melee, is Dr. Mario! As well as a smörgåsbord of new characters there are all the returning veterans from SSB Brawl with the exceptions of: Lucas, Pokemon Trainer, Solid Snake, Ice Climbers, and Wolf. This game was a HUGE excitement for me and once I heard noise of the demo I got it, and even for the 3DS it was fun. However, I can't say I was happy with there being no story mode, Subspace Emissary was a blast to 100% complete with my friend, and now we can't sit down and do the same thing. Saying that I like Smash Run and Smash Tour, the version exclusive, similar gamemodes. All together I give it a solid 8.5/10, I still can't get over the fact that there is no story mode.

League of Legends Game Review

League of Legends is a VERY popular game today. It's a free to play game for PC, rated T for Blood, Fantasy Violence, Mild Suggestive Themes, and Use of Alcohol and Tobacco. And that may sound bad, but it's really not as bad as it seems. It's a very competitive game, so if you're not good, your team will haunt you with insults and ridicule. Each game lasts a pretty long amount of time(between 30-60 minutes depended on which mode you play), so be prepared to while away your day if you really like it. There are sooooo many characters, who in LoL are called Champions, you'll have your choice to who you think is best. Some of the champions are: Aatrox, Ashe, Corki, Ezreal, Gragas, Jax, Kayle, Lissandra, Master Yi, Nautilus, Poppy, Ryze, Sivir, Taric, Twitch, Vi, and Yasuo. Peculiar names, but, still a 10/10 worthy game, fun for strategists or fighter fans.

Candy Crush Soda Saga Game Review

The extremely successful and addicting "free" phone app for Android and Apple devices is back with an entirely new title! It's basically the same exact thing as the first installment with a few new power-ups and level ideas. The game still looks the same, but with smoother graphics and refined candy colors. You probably get it saying, "Oh wow! A free game... oh with in-app purchases, it's fine I won't waste any money on this silly game." Next thing you know, your credit card is down $20 because you bought five more moves or some new power-ups. If you don't have the game you may not agree, but if you do, you understand far too well. All in all it's not even all that good of a game, 4/10.
